Previously: We learned who Skye's parents were, Victoria and Izzy were brought in on what is going on, Skye's training began again with help from Kara, and Natasha is still suspicious of Skye.
Chapter 19: We Will Figure It Out.
Skye was sitting with Maria in her office down the hall from where Fury and Coulson were, in Fury's office. They were waiting for Coulson to be done debriefing Fury on his mission, and Skye was extremely nervous.
"Skye calm down, it's going to be okay," Maria said.
"How do you think Coulson will react, or the rest when they return?" Skye asked.
"Hmm... I honestly don't know, but I think Coulson will have that disappointed dad expression of his for a little moment," Maria said with a chuckle, but when she saw that her joke missed its mark she quickly added "but I think he wouldn't mind so much," Maria said.
Skye was about to say something again, but the sound from the intercom connecting Maria's office to Fury's came to life and Fury's voice came through "Hill we are ready for you," he said, and turned it off before Maria could respond.
"Okay, that was our cue to go in," Maria said, standing and going for the door, with Skye trailing behind her at a slow pace.
When they entered the office, Maria went first "Hello, Maria how hav- Skye what are you doing here, and where is the nanny bracelet?" Coulson asked when Skye entered behind Maria and he saw that the bracelet was gone.
"Sit down Coulson, we will explain," Fury said, and Coulson just sat down waiting for answers. Maria guided Skye to sit.
"While Skye has been here, and you on your mission and the rest of your team at the Sci-Tech Academy, we have gotten to know Skye a little better. We don't feel Skye to be a threat to SHIELD so the bracelet has been taken off," Maria started because she knew Skye wouldn't start herself.
While Maria talked Coulson was getting more and more confused and then Maria looked at Skye for her to continue but when she didn't, Maria gave her a little shove.
Skye mumbled something he didn't get, he was about to say something when he saw Maria put her hand on Skye's shoulder and whisper something in her ear, to which Skye nodded, then Skye took a deep breath.
"Umm I need to tell you something you may not like but I lied when we met, and I have been lying ever since. I am not talking about the search for my parents, but umm I am only seventeen," Skye said.
Coulson had not expected that, so he just stared, until he heard Maria clearing her throat. "Okay, so what is the plan now? Obviously, Skye can't return to the team and considering she is not a legal adult or have, I assume a legal guardian, she can't go to the academy," Coulson asked.
"Everything has been handled, Coulson. Skye does have a guardian and before you ask it is classified who the person is," Fury spoke up for the first time since Skye and Maria entered his office.
Coulson could only nod, "Do the team know? What about Bobbi? You two are soulmates after all," he asked Skye.
"No, we plan on me telling Bobbi, and you and Mar- um Commander Hill telling the rest of the team," Skye answered. Of course, she did not tell him that Sharon would inform Natasha that she was seventeen and had been taken off the team.
After the meeting, Coulson, Maria, and Skye went down to the cafeteria to wait for the team to return. While they waited Coulson asked what she had been doing while they were away. Skye told him she had taken the evaluation test because the GED she had given him was fake, and that she had done well on the test, so she had gotten a real GED.
He congratulated her and after that they just talked. Once they were informed that the Bus would arrive in about 15 minutes, the three of them went down to the hanger to deliver the news to the rest of the team.
When the Bus touched down, and the hanger door was opened, in the cargo hold was Simmons and Fitz, "Hi Skye, Agent Coulson, Commander Hill," Simmons said, at that moment May and Bobbi came down the stairs.
Bobbi moved over to stand beside Skye, and Skye smiled up at her when Bobbi took her hand. "Hill, what do we owe the honor?" Bobbi asked.
"Do we have a mission?" May asked before Maria could answer.
"No, no mission, we just have some news," she said looking at Skye, who just got nervous again. After a minute of Skye staying quiet, Maria gave her a little shove, "Bobbi can we talk in private, upstairs?" Skye asked Bobbi, who looked at her confused before nodding, and the two going upstairs.
"So, how have you been?" Bobbi asked when they were upstairs.
"Pretty good. You?" Skye asked.
"Well we learned a lot, got some new gadgets, and Fitz even got some of his inventions into production," Bobbi said.
"That's good for him, he must be so happy," Skye said.
"Yes, he is. So what is it you want to talk about, is it about you being in Sharon's pack now?" Bobbi decided to ask because Skye was stalling.
"Um no, it is not about that, not really," Skye said, when Bobbi only raised an eyebrow to that Skye sighed, "I have something I have been lying about since I came here," Skye said.
At that Bobbi tensed. "What do you mean?" Bobbi asked, hoping that Natasha was not right about Skye, she could also feel her anger grow again, that Skye had lied about something.
"Umm I am not exactly twenty-three," Skye said, that was not what Bobbi expected so she just stood there blinking at Skye for a moment.
"What do you mean you are not exactly twenty-three?" Bobbi asked with a tense voice.
"I am only seventeen," Skye said in a small voice.
"What?" Bobbi said almost as a whisper before what Skye had said really registered in her mind. "What else have you been lying about?" Bobbi growled out.
Skye's head shot up, "Hey, I wanted to tell you, I just didn't know if I could trust you or anyone else here. What would you have done, if I had told you in the beginning?" Skye said also with a growl.
"I am your soulmate, we should trust each other!" Bobbi raising her voice.
"I have not really felt like your soulmate every time I've tried talking to you. You were cold, or busy, towards me. I could not even talk to you about the wolf thing," Skye said, getting angry herself. "And then after the Berserker staff incident you stayed with May," Skye growled after she had taken a breath.
"You could ha- wait what, how do- "Bobbi started but paled when she realized what Skye said about her and May.
"How do I know, you mean? Well first I wanted to talk to you, but you were not in your hotel room, so I thought you were still in the bar and went to check, but when I rounded the corner I saw you go into May's room instead. When I got to the door I was about to knock but I heard you," Skye said. With Bobbi not responding, Skye continued, "You know I haven't told anyone about it and I don't really care, we hadn't and still haven't had a real conversation about us, I hope we can at some point, but we both need to work on ourselves first," she said gently.
"Are you still hiding things from us?" Bobbi asked instead of responding to what Skye had just said.
"Yes, but there are some people who know it, and when the time is right the rest of the wolves will be told," Skye said in a monotone voice. "And before you start, the orders come from Peggy," Skye stated when she saw Bobbi open her mouth, positive that she would ask more, and when Bobbi closed her mouth again she was proven correct.
"So, what now?" Bobbi asked.
"Well I can't stay on the Bus, so I will stay here with Maria and Sharon, and Peggy of course, she is my guardian," Skye said.
"I need some air," Bobbi said in a cold tone walking away, ignoring Skye's calls, but before she could reach the stairs Skye grabbed her arm.
"What?!" Bobbi snapped, startling Skye.
"Nothing, it can wait," Skye said letting go of Bobbi and going to her bunk to pack the last of her things.
When she was done she turned to walk down to Maria and the others, she wondered briefly why no one had come up yet since Bobbi had left almost ten minutes ago, but she got her answer to that when she turned around because there was Bobbi looking at her.
"I thought you left?" Skye asked.
"I almost did but I wanted to ask you something," Bobbi said.
"Okay, what is it?" Skye asked.
"I have two questions actually, the first is why did you accept Coulson's offer to stay at SHIELD?" Bobbi asked.
"I was looking for something," Skye said, when Bobbi raised an eyebrow in question Skye just shook her head.
"Okay if you were not chosen for the wolf project and found whatever you were looking for, would you have stayed?" Bobbi asked.
"I don't know, we would probably not have met at the time we did because Ward and Coulson would not be looking for what deal I made with you guys. It also depends on if I found the info and when; if I had found it on week one, then yes, I think I would've left. I can't be sure if I had found it around this time, we don't know how close I would have gotten to the team without the wolf connection," Skye answered honestly.
Bobbi apparently didn't like that answer because she growled loudly before storming out.
It was not long after Bobbi left that Maria along with Coulson at Fitzsimons came up.
"You okay? Bobbi seemed upset," Maria asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, how did the others take it?" Skye asked, but before Maria could answer she found herself in a hug, from Simmons.
Bobbi, and May who had followed Bobbi down to the facility, were met by the sight of Sharon, Victoria, and Natasha yelling at each other.
"What else is she lying about?" Natasha asked.
"Nothing you need to concern yourself with, you will be told when the time comes," Sharon said with Victoria backing her up.
"And if you have a problem go talk to Peggy," Victoria said.
It ended with Natasha, May, and Bobbi going to their part of the facility.
When Maria and Skye with Fitzsimons arrived at The Lair, they were met by two fuming alphas.
"I guess Natasha didn't take it so well," Maria said.
"No, not really" Victoria answered.
"And I take it Bobbi didn't either, she looked a little pissed too," Sharon said walking over to Skye and giving her a hug.
"I don't know, one minute she seemed relatively okay with it. When she asked if I was hiding more, and I told her the truth, she was not happy with it, but then she asked why I accepted Coulson's offer to stay at SHIELD, and I told her I was looking for something which she seemed to understand when I said it was Peggy's decision. And when she asked if I hadn't been chosen to join the wolf project, and found whatever I was looking for, would I have stayed, and I told her that I didn't know, we would probably not have met at the time we had because Ward and Coulson would not have been looking for what deal I had made with you guys, and that it depended if I had found the info and how long it took when I had, if I had found it on week one, then yes I think I would have left. That I was not sure what I would have done if I had found it now, because we could not know how close I would have been to the team, after I said that she stormed out." Skye said again honestly.
"Well I think that was totally honest, and you are right, we can't tell how things would have turned out; you could have been closer with the team then what you are now or not," Victoria said.
"They will understand in time," Maria stated.
"And if Bobbi can't see the truth of your words that is on her, not you," Simmons said. Skye just smiled at their words; she was happy that they understood what she meant.
Hours later every member of the packs was at The Lair, most of them loved the new name and The Den too for the Hub.
They had opened the wolf training area, so everyone could run and play together or sit in the common room connected to it. It was located on the left side of the lair, then the other common room and the private parts of the lair. Peggy's part was on the right side, where the rest was located in the middle alongside the labs.
Johnathan and Rick were in the kitchen area while Fitzsimmons were curled up asleep on the floor in their wolf forms with Simmons light brown form on top of Fitz's dark brown one. Skye was chasing Kara's light brown and white wolf form who had a piece of rope in her mouth, Victoria was sitting down beside Sharon who was talking with Maria and Sam on one of the couches with Maria sitting on the floor. Natasha's pack and Peggy had not arrived yet.
"I think we have made a mistake introducing those two," Victoria said referring to Kara and Skye.
"What do you mean?" Maria asked.
"It is just a feeling I have," Victoria said.
Skye had finally gotten a hold on the piece of rope Kara had taken from her, when the doors opened, and Natasha, May, Bobbi, Clint, and Izzy walked in.
They all notice that Skye had changed color in her wolf form, from the normal dark gray to also having a mix of black, white, and dark and light brown spots along with having her floppy ear.
Izzy went over to Victoria, Maria, Sharon, and Sam, while the rest joined Johnathan and Rick in the kitchen.
Suddenly there was a yelp ringing out and everyone saw that Kara had run into the pile that was Fitzsimmons who both shot up, and Skye took the opportunity to take the rope and run with it with Kara chasing her, and Fitzsimmons chasing her for waking them.
Twenty minutes later Fitzsimmons had given up on the hunt on Kara and had decided to join their alpha on the couches, Kara and Skye were still playing and had been joined by Maria.
Skye was laying on her back with Maria on top of her trying to get the rope she still had, while Kara was beside her also trying to get the rope.
Bobbi was sitting and watching them when May sat down beside her. "You could join, you know," she said.
"Yeah I know, I just don't think Skye would want me to, it got a little heated earlier," Bobbi said.
Bobbi had also told May that Skye knew they have had sex.
"You will figure something out in the end," May said, just as Maria got the rope and ran away with Kara and Skye hot on her tail, and Peggy walking in, smiled at the sight that greeted her.
It was Kara who saw Peggy first between the three of the playing wolves. She let go of the rope, causing Maria to fall to the side, and both Skye and Maria looked over to see why Kara had let go of the rope they saw her trot over to the head alpha.
Skye was quick to follow, while Maria took the opportunity to take the rope and run away with it. After Kara had greeted Peggy, Skye did the same, but the greeting was short because Kara noticed Maria in the back of the room with the rope and instantly took chase. Skye wanted to go too, but waited, she knew that Peggy wanted to talk to her.
"Go, we will talk later or tomorrow," Peggy's voice came in her head, so Skye gave Peggy a small bark of thanks before running to Maria and Kara.
